Protect your electronic equipment from damaging voltage and current spikes with this Monoprice surge protector!

This model includes twelve protected power outlets, 4 of which are positioned for AC power adapters, and a 2-port 2.1A USB charger. The clear plastic tabs on the sides of the unit illuminate green to indicate when the surge protector is providing protection to your equipment and when a proper ground is detected.

When the protection circuitry has been fully consumed by power and current spikes, the protection light will no longer illuminate, indicating that the surge protector should be replaced. When the grounded tab is not illuminated it indicates that there is a problem with the house wiring and that the ground is not properly connected to the power outlet.

The surge protector has 4 keyholes on the back, allowing it to be secured to a wall or other surface.

Let me start by stating that I haven't yet bought one of theseone thing is holding me back. It's the plug at the end of the power cable. I prefer a right-angle plug for 2 reasons: 1) I can more easily place it behind solid pieces of furniture, and 2) I find they are less likely to become disconnected or loose.

Cons: The lights are bright can be put in a space such as under a desk though to provide illumination so not a complete con but you may feel your on krypton.

Works great!

Works Great So Far

Pros: much higher protection than similarly priced devices sold at target.

Cons: the green "grounded" lights are a little too bright.

works great so far. bought 2 when it was on sale for $20 each. one serves my modem & router downstairs. the other serves my desktop, monitors, speaker, and etc.

there should be some kind of setting to dim the green "grounded" word. instead, it's designed to showcase the green "grounded" word with transparent plastic along the sides of the surge protector.

Nice, but WAY TOO BRIGHT

Pros: Good spacing, USB

Cons: way too bright

would give it 4.5 stars, but down rating to 3 for brightness. Even under the bed illuminated the room. Had to give it the black electrical tape treatment.

Tight fit in some cases

Pros: This surge protector allowed me to get rid of several smaller 4 outlet protectors.

Cons: I could have gotten rid of more if the 8 center outlets- 4 per side- were further apart. Many of my cords have the bulky transformers attached to the male plug and they overlap the adjacent female plug in the surge protector making them inaccessible. If all you have is a power cord with just a male plug, then this con goes away.
